UNSPSC 44122109: Hook and loop fastener

UNSPSC 44122109 Hook and loop fastener is a Commodity code encompassing adhesive-backed or sewn Velcro attachments and closure systems used in operational uniforms, personal protective equipment, tactical gear, and departmental supply inventories. State and local governments procure hook and loop fasteners as components of integrated uniform and equipment packages, particularly for first-responder, emergency-management, and correctional applications where durable, field-replaceable fastening systems are required. The code appears in solicitations from municipal fire departments, county purchasing offices, and other operational agencies buying tactical and support apparel bundles rather than fastener components in isolation. The City of Phoenix Fire Department and Escambia County, Florida have posted recent opportunities incorporating hook and loop fasteners as part of broader uniform, tactical gear, and departmental supply packages.

Activity under this code concentrates in Arizona and Florida based on recent postings. The City of Phoenix Fire Department issued RFQ 260058 on March 26, 2026 (response deadline April 16, 2026) for battle dress uniforms, fatigue apparel, Velcro name tags, gear bags, and embroidered headwear to support Arizona Task Force 1 operations, with a five-year contract term commencing June 27, 2026 and delivery required within 30 calendar days of order placement. Escambia County, Florida issued ITB PD 25-26.019 on March 12, 2026 for a price agreement covering departmental supplies including inmate clothing and uniforms requiring hook and loop components, with a twelve-month initial term and renewal options extending to thirty-six months total. Vendors responding to these solicitations must meet durability standards for extreme environmental conditions, provide ISO and OSHA compliance where applicable, and maintain insurance coverage with minimum limits of $1 million to $2 million depending on the issuing body's requirements.
